Welcome to the grand premiere of the Screen Queen Halloween Series! Creepshow is known as one of the best Stephen King films, best horror films, and best anthology horror films. I have to say…they’re right. It is one of the best horror films all around. But this is more than just a horror film and I get to talk all about it. 

HEY HEAD’S UP: I love this movie, and there were times I was getting too into this movie and didn’t realize how close the microphone was. I tried to lower the volume on my enthusiasm. 

Part 1: What is Creepshow?

Part 2: Family Ties

Part 3: Father’s Day

Part 4: Stephen King’s Acting: Jordy Verill

Part 5: Something To Tide You Over

How did this film that made an audience uncomfortable back in 1955 become a celebrated film of today? Here on the Screen Queen, you’re about to find out how this movie still thrills people 70 years later. 

BTW, major apologies for the audio quality, my voice got so scratchy and raspy in some parts. I never noticed how close I had the mike to my face. Many parts had to be lowered so it wouldn’t screech in your ears. 

Part 1: The film no one was prepared for

Part 2: The Vile Villain 

Part 3: The Narcissistic examples

Part 4: Film parallel

Part 5: Rachel Cooper 

TIMECODE – 22:12

Part 6: Final Thoughts

We wouldn’t have I Will Always Love You if it wasn’t for The Bodyguard, yet the plot of The Bodyguard seems to have been obscured because of its cheesy appearance. There is more to this film that just a hit song (but the song is pretty great, I will always love it). What did Kevin Costner do to prepare for his role?

Part 1: Introduction

Part 2: Kevin did what?

Part 3: Whitney’s Woes

Part 4: The Poster Plan
